I Am Unstoppable

During breakfast, Jonathan didn't talk to anyone as he was contemplating how to find Infant King's subordinates. Yet, he had little progress.

After having their meal, everyone left the diner.

Mabel said, “Jonathan, Ms. Lachman, I'm sure you're exhausted since you didn't get much rest. How about I arrange a hotel for you to stay in first?”

“It's all right. We'll stay at your place. This way, we can take care of each other as well,” replied Jonathan.

Mabel was stunned for a short while before responding smilingly, “That's fine, too!” Then, she turned to Jeff and said, “Chief Yount, we'll be leaving now. Please contact us if there's any news.”

Jeff nodded. “Don't worry, Mabel. I'll hurry and investigate this matter.”

Jonathan pondered silently before speaking suddenly. “Chief Yount, do you think we can start the investigation by searching for the source of Infant King? Who on earth is he, and where is he usually active?”

Jeff answered, “I've thought about these before. However, Infant King's history is still a mystery. I just recently found out there's such a being in the world. Besides, Infant King hadn't deliberately created baby ghosts before this. After all, there are already many cases of abortion. He just has to capture those babies and absorb the power. Since all this activity takes place in the underworld, we can't see it with our bare eyes or surveillance cameras. Hence, it's difficult to check where he's been.”

Hearing that, Jonathan wasn't feeling discouraged at all. “That's okay. I'll think of another way.”

Subsequently, Jonathan and the others waved Jeff goodbye.

Mabel called someone to send a Land Rover over.

Forty minutes later, Jonathan and the rest arrived at Mabel's home.

Mabel's condition was normal now, and she arranged a room for Beatrix. The latter didn't wish to interact with anyone further and went back to her room to cultivate in silence.

Jonathan and Mabel sat on the couch.

Although there were guests at Mabel's house, she was not the sort of gracious host who would make a show of buying ingredients to cook a meal for them. If they had to eat, they could simply eat outside.

Of course, these matters were trivial in times like this. Jonathan only had his mind fixed on helping Mabel out.

“I'm sure we'll get the perfect chance,” Jonathan said. “Danger brings opportunity. I believe you can absorb Infant King's primordial spirit this time and get a drastic increase in your cultivation level.”

Mabel smiled faintly and replied, “Of course, I can do it with the Chosen One's help.” She was simply going along with him.

Although she cared about whether she lived or died, she wasn't afraid at all.

However, Jonathan couldn't bring himself to stand there helplessly and watch his friends die.

As for the situation right now, the most troublesome part was to find baby ghosts that already belonged to the underworld in this vast world. It was extremely challenging.

They could still search for a living human by paying attention to their features and other clues.

Yet, it was too difficult to search for something that they couldn't even see with their bare eyes.

“Mabel, I have an idea,” Jonathan said abruptly after pondering for a while. “We can find Chief Yount and brainstorm with him a way to let us see the baby ghosts or negative energy objects. It's something like activating our Third Eye like The Destino.”

“Chief Yount should be able to do that,” Mabel replied. “Then what?”

“Our knowledge is limited within the overworld, no matter how powerful we are. Since we're dealing with the underworld, we should find someone who's an expert at it,” explained Jonathan.

His suggestion piqued Mabel's interest. She asked, “Where can we find such a person?”

Jonathan answered, “We should look for a hospital with plenty of negative energy and bad geomancy. Then, we can see if any women recently visited to carry out an abortion. If there are, we can activate our Third Eye and observe in secret to see if a baby ghost has been formed. If there is, we can track the baby ghost and see if we can find a clue.”

Mabel couldn't help but smile bitterly. “Isn't this akin to looking for a needle in a haystack? Every day, there are more babies who get aborted than there are being born in Chanaea. There are also too many baby ghosts, but most would linger for a while before vanishing. Infant King's subordinates must just be at a certain location. It's impossible that he can gather baby ghosts from so many locations accurately.” After a brief pause, she continued, “Besides, only Infant King has the habit of gathering baby ghosts, not his subordinates.”

Jonathan said in a deep voice, “Maybe we can still try our luck? It's way better than sitting here and doing nothing, anyway.”

Seeing how determined he was, Mabel had no choice but to reply, “All right, then. I'll inform Chief Yount later and ask my people to find a hospital that suits your criteria.”

Jonathan nodded in acknowledgment.

A thought occurred to him in the next second. “By the way, Master wants you to absorb Infant King's subordinates. Does that mean you're absorbing their dark energy?”

Mabel responded, “Actually, we cannot absorb dark energy. What Master Richard meant was that those baby ghosts can transform dark spirits into the dark spirit energy that can be used as a supplement for my brain.”

Hearing that, Jonathan asked, “If that's the case, then why must we find Infant King's subordinates? Why can't we just find ordinary baby ghosts for you to devour?”

“Of course not!” Mabel exclaimed. “Infant King's subordinates are already trained using Infant King's mana. Hence, they're the only ones who possess dark spirit energy. Ordinary baby ghosts don't possess that, and they only have an endless resentment aura. It's harmful once someone absorbs it.”

Jonathan had an epiphany.

Then, he got up and said, “Ask your subordinates to focus on investigating these types of hospitals. We have to give it a try, no matter what. There's always hope before everything comes to an end.”

He had always aimed for victory and never admitted defeat easily.

Mabel nodded and grinned. “I will forget about the formalities this time.”

A faint smile appeared on Jonathan's face as he replied, “We'll have a drink after you're cured.”

He then added shortly after, “I'll return to my room first.”

Mabel responded frantically, “What do you mean, your room? There are only two bedrooms, and Ms. Lachman is already staying in one of them. Are you going to my room, then?”

Jonathan chuckled. “Why not? It's not like you've left your underwear all over the place.”

With that, he directly went to her room, which left Mabel with no choice but to let him do so.

As soon as Jonathan entered Mabel's bedroom, he caught a whiff of her unique scent.

With Jonathan in his current mental state, he was in no mood to take advantage of Mabel and peek at her underwear or anything. Besides, his relationship with Mabel was more like a friendship between soulmates—it didn't involve feelings that lovers would have for each other.

Jonathan actually just wanted to get ready to consume some Immortal Pills. Currently, he possessed two Trio Vitality Pills, and he had to improve his cultivation level promptly.

Edward was too powerful, which made Jonathan feel overwhelmingly pressured.

Jonathan sat cross-legged on the bed and ate a Trio Vitality Pill.

Immediately, the Trio Vitality Pill transformed into a burst of vital energy when it was placed in his mouth.

The vital energy began surging through his body.

I have to admit that Divine Realm's alchemy skills are incredible. This is amazing. This Trio Vitality Pill will form a burst of vital energy and is rich in nutrients. I can't imagine how the senior alchemists do this.

A high-quality elixir pill had to be free of side effects. Usually, any ordinary pills on the market had side effects, and the toxic impurities in those pills would harm the body. However, an elixir pill wouldn't cause any harm.

A human's lifespan was limited because every action—whether it was eating or breathing—would introduce toxins and impurities into the body.

It was easy to eliminate those wastes when one was young and had a great body condition.

Yet, as one aged, one's immune system would drop. Thus, it would be difficult to eliminate the toxins from the body. Then, one's health would deteriorate, forming a vicious cycle.
